Mayors are critical actors in shaping urban health, yet relatively little is known about how they perceive and approach community health challenges. This session will feature the results of a survey with a nationally representative sample of U.S. mayors to reveal which health challenges they prioritize and why – from chronic challenges like obesity to more acute concerns such as gun violence and opioids.
